Hey, everybody, producer Brett here. So we have a great episode today. Charles, Frank and I taped this around 2 p.m.

0:06.5

Eastern time on Sunday afternoon, but quite a number of things have changed since we recorded it. For the most part, the episode is a really great

0:14.3

discussion looking back at the five main head coaching hires that have happened in the last couple of weeks. And we discuss some of the other

0:22.3

head coaching positions that haven't quite been filled yet. And that's where some of the news that broke later on Sunday really got to us.

0:28.7

So a few things. We discussed the Texans head coaching position, which is currently open. And as we were recording this, it seemed as if the field was narrowed to Brian Flores, to Eagles, defensive coordinator, Jonathan Ganon and Josh McCown. So we had a conversation about those three names after we taped this episode.

0:49.1

Pro football talk NBC sports reported that Jonathan Ganon was removing his name from consideration. And then shortly after that, ESPN had reported all of the Texans. Obviously, like Josh McCown, he was not going to be considered. And that lobby Smith is potentially a name for this job. So we didn't know that as we were taping it. Just something you should know we're leaving the conversation. And because I think it is so good conversation. Even though many of the details have changed. Secondly, we talked about Miami a little bit. Steve and Ross.

1:18.1

Not up to some good stuff. Also shortly after we recorded this and we didn't know who Miami was even targeting for this position. Miami hired San Francisco offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel. So those two pieces of information. We're lacking as we were taking this on Sunday afternoon. We still wanted to provide the full podcast for everyone to enjoy. So keep that in mind. Bear that in mind. Please enjoy the episode. And we will be back and speak to y'all on late Thursday or Friday, Super Bowl week. Enjoy the show.

1:48.9

Hello. Hello. Hello. You putt to win the game. That's the great thing about sports. You putt to win the game.

2:03.6

All right. Welcome to you. Pod to win the game. No games Sunday, but Sunday night free style for Frank Schwab and Charles Robinson.

2:11.2

And myself, senior writer, Charles Robinson and senior writer Frank Schwab. We are coming to you. You'll be getting this Sunday evening. We're doing it early Sunday, but wanted to stay on track with the podcast. Talk to people about the coach and carousel.

2:26.4

Couple of other things that are going on in the league right now, but it is Super Bowl week. I start Super Bowl week to Sunday prior when the Pro Bowl kicks off. Frank, are you going to watch the Pro Bowl?

2:37.2

Everybody argues I argue about the Pro Bowl. And I'm like, just all you got to do is press a button on your

2:42.0

mountain, not consume it. It's that simple too, man. I honestly, I for the last 15 years, baby, I've seen one pro bowl.

2:50.4

And that's what I attended in person. And I'll tell you this, I can go to just about any sporting event and enjoy it. Whatever.

2:55.9

No big deal. I was at the Pro Bowl. And I'm like, it's like six minutes into it. I'm like, Oh, my God. This is the dullest thing. I hate to trash it.

3:02.8

I'm not one of these dudes, but it's like, this is just not even football. Like, what are we even doing here? I've been to an MBA. All

3:08.1

Stargate loved it. It was freaking entertaining as heck. I've been to baseball. So great NFL Pro Bowl. No, there's just nothing there for me. I

3:16.2

will not be watching. I'd rather watch the worst NBA game on the car. The worst college basketball game I can find in my TV. Yeah. So, sorry, sorry, any pro bowl fans out there. I

3:24.0

won't be providing you much. It's right there. I was at the 2007 Pro Bowl. And I saw Sean Taylor destroy.

3:34.0

So one of the most famous. It says something about the Pro Bowl that the most famous moment in public history is a guy blowing up a

3:40.4

monster. Okay. But I mean, it was. He did. It's a jet. It's a jet. I'll never forget sitting there and being like, Oh, my God. What did he just do?

3:51.0

Like he did. There are no flapping. Afterward, ever. Can you do a second pro bowl moment? Honestly, could you name one more
